The result officially condemned Eddie Howe\u2019s side to a finish outside the top seven, ensuring they completely missed out on European qualification for next season.<br>\u200bWhile a number of Newcastle players looked entirely checked out, Shearer directed his heaviest ammunition at high-profile forward Yoane Wissa. Deployed to lead the line in a match where the club desperately needed a victory to keep their continental dreams alive, the Congolese international instead produced a woeful, detached display before being hooked in the 66th minute.<br>\u200bSpeaking on the final-day post-match review, an incandescent Shearer slammed the attacker&#8217;s complete lack of fight.<br>\u200b&#8221;To put in a performance that gutless when European football is on the line is completely unacceptable,&#8221; Shearer fumed. &#8220;Wissa looked entirely uninterested. No urgency, zero movement, and absolutely no presence up top. When you wear that Newcastle shirt in a must-win game, you fight for the badge. Today, he gave the Fulham defenders a completely free afternoon.&#8221;<br>\u200bThe match data underlined the legendary number nine&#8217;s fury. Throughout his 66 minutes on the pitch, Wissa failed to register a single shot on target, lost nearly all of his physical duels, and consistently disrupted his own side&#8217;s attacking transitions with poor hold-up play. His frustrating afternoon was capped off by a petulant yellow card just moments before Howe finally dragged him off.<br>\u200bWith Newcastle&#8217;s campaign ending in a miserable whimper on the banks of the Thames, serious questions will be asked about the squad&#8217;s mentality heading into the summer. For Wissa, a brutal final day leaves him with a mountain of work to do to win back the trust of a furious fanbase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer did not hold back following the Magpies\u2019 humiliating 2-0 defeat to Fulham at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":691,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685\/revisions\/691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agajahub.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
